Mr. Jones the farmer is a drunk and cruel tyrant, and one day the animals on his farm have had enough of him, so they take over the farm and kick him out. They set up a government of their own. It starts out as an egalitarian government, where all animals are equal, but as time progresses it turns into a regime as repressive and totalitarian as that of Mr. Jones. Their new motto is "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." In the end they become a drunk tyrant just like Mr. Jones, so the revolution was not revolution at all.

The author of the book Animal Farm portrays a space between human and animal kingdom. George Orwell used animal characters to create a fantasy space between the sensitive issues of his time and the most acceptable fantasy world of animal tales. Orwell also satirizes other countries through the space he creates by using an animal farm setting to tell his story . Principally, Orwell was critical of the dictatorship and the oppression that Russian leader, Joseph Stalin meted out during his reign. The creation of space in Animal Farm alludes to the detachment that Orwell gave to characters and actions in his novel in order to gain acceptability of his literal piece and deliver timeless satire to oppressive systems. There are many instances and comparisions made in the book. The main theme of the book is the animals in the farm were against the human rule over them. They wanted freedom and wanted to live by themselves independently.
First off, the animals in the farm, which was actually called as the manors farm , were against Mr. Jones who used to feed them. But these animals wanted independence. It was the pigs those ruled named napoleons, squeakers.
As the tale proceeds we can see that there are many of the animals that try to betray others. This can be clearly understood how molles for his greedy purposes went into other farm. And used to visit the farm during the nights to steal food. No animal in the farm actually thought that it would happen. It was unbelievable to them of how molles did. As molles did , it was another animal snowball who did the same. It was impossible for the napoleons to believe that all the while snow ball was a secret agent of Mr. Jones. Napoleon had a powerful, egocentric lust for control, while Snowball seems to think of himself as a genius who should be the one to guide the farm toward success but each represents a potential dictator. Neither pig ,nor the other animals’ interests at heart, and thus neither represented the socialist ideals of Animal Farm.
Later, when the construction of the windmill was in progress, there were many animals who were against it and helped others to break it off. But , the animals never lost hope they began to build it from the beginning again. There were many animals then who showed their back by helping their enemies.
The use of an animal tale carves the author a “timelessness” space that he can use to criticize oppressive regimes and systems throughout human existence. The animal characters such as Napoleon, Snowball, Squealer, Boxer, and many others possess traits that can speak to or of other historical figures such as Adolf Hitler, as well as modern-day dictators. It is no doubt that Orwell’s epic statement “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” has been used to describe human systems characterized by oppression.
However, the tale can be linked to o.
